A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

“Capital” would be:
whatever oven or kiln the 3rd pig is using to make the bricks
how the 3rd pig is getting paid / eating during the lengthier time it takes for him to make bricks and then build a more labor intensive construction
But thanks for playing
So all capital is sourced from labour?
Hmmm
No some of the capital that paid for the pig’s upkeep during his build period was the proceeds from natural resources that were conserved during a season of plenty to be sold in a time of scarcity. If you want to call eating less in the summertime “labor” with a capital L you can while I sit here and laugh. Capital is just liquidity. You can generate it by labor but that doesn’t make it the same as labor or the property of others who have labor to give.
Mental gymnastics to justify bootlicking B strong here 🤡
Kindergarten marxism be strong over there. 😂🫡
I am not a Marxist and my comment history speaks for itself.
Can't even muster up a proper come back based on doctrine tho sad
in the story, he dried them in the sun.
the story says the pigs who did less work spent the days playing not getting paid and buying food
No man that sun drying shit is expansion universe, not canon. And the author has said himself that pig 3 was on retainer for a masonry company.
